When is a Muse not a Muse?

2 years ago

This is another meditation on a theme which is presented as a visual essay with the written version on my site. It communicates through visual imagery. But I have added a soundscape too to put us in the mood. I’m still learning these skills so if it seems abrupt and the editing is not yet as smooth as I would like - but next one will be more polished. I never know where the topic will lead me when I start, I just follow the hunch wherever it leads. This one started with watching a horror film but veers into mythology, poets and poetry, fairy folk, the language of film, W.B. Yeats’ astrology and muse asteroids and the origins of certain archetypes and it asks 'when is a muse not a muse?' I think they are benign but in the film they are malevolent more like the seven deadly sins. It mainly explores different ways how we define what muses actually are.
